(KLZA)-- During the Falls City Council meeting last week, City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum provided an update on the process to hire new line crew members after all six members of the line crew resigned earlier this month.

Nussbaum reported the city has received 60 applications for the positions. No journeymen have applied. Most of the applicants are interns or apprentices or coming out of school.

No former line crew members have applied for the open positions.

Currently the City has contracted with a company from St. Joseph to provide line crew services, both scheduled work and emergencies.

Nussbaum also noted that work is going to be resuming soon on the downtown electrical upgrade project to replace the current overhead electrical service with underground service.

Businesses will be notified when the work could effect their businesses.

The Council did award a bid for the installation of new lighting at SNC Field. The contract was awarded to the low bidder, El Camino Electric of Falls City at a cost not to exceed $25,095.
